Weight Loss Affirmations

Our beliefs create our reality! Take a moment to consider this: everything that was created was first an idea or thought in someone’s mind. For example, consider a chair in your house or the chair you are sitting on while you read this blog post. Before that chair was made into material existence, it existed as an idea in someone’s mind first. The same goes for your perfect body! If you have an idea how you would look if you were at your ideal weight, your perfect body exists in your mind first before it becomes a reality.

Your thoughts can have a powerful effect on your life. If you believe that you can achieve your goals and dreams, you will take the actions necessary to make those goals and dreams into your reality. In the same way, if you doubt that you can achieve your goals and dreams, you will probably prevent yourself from achieving your goals and dreams. Self-doubt becomes your reality. In addition, research has shown that our thoughts can have a direct impact on our health. When we don’t believe in ourselves, we become depressed and complacent and in turn, get sick more easily (Pauketat, et al. 2016).

Negative thought patterns are formed over time. Just like an addiction or a bad habit, it takes time and consistent practice to break negative thought patterns and change them into positive ones!

After a couple of years of yo-yo dieting and repeatedly failing to lose weight, I began to doubt my ability to ever get in shape. If I did not work on my beliefs first, I would have never started my journey! These affirmations helped change my thought patterns during my weight loss journey and I really hope that they will help you, too!
